The Metropolis: common questions

How much does a property in The Metropolis cost?+

Over the last 12 months the median registered sale price in The Metropolis in Business Bay was AED 1.5M, which works out at about 1,832 AED per square foot, across 18 registered sales. These are completed transactions registered with the Dubai Land Department, not asking prices.

What is the rent in The Metropolis?+

The median registered annual rent in The Metropolis over the last 90 days was AED 104,000 per year, across 87 registered Ejari contracts. Ejari contracts are the official registered tenancy record, so this reflects what tenants are actually paying rather than advertised rents.

What rental yield does The Metropolis give?+

The Metropolis shows a gross rental yield of roughly 7%, calculated by comparing registered Ejari rents against registered sale prices for the same building. That figure is gross, so service charges, management fees and any vacancy still come out of it, commonly one to two percentage points.

Is The Metropolis a good investment?+

We do not give investment advice, and we will not guess. What the registered record shows for The Metropolis is 963 registered sales on file, 18 of them in the last 12 months, and a gross yield of about 7%. Transaction volume matters as much as price, because it tells you how easily you could sell again. Compare those figures against other buildings in Business Bay before deciding, and check the service charge for the tower, since it comes straight off your yield.
